Champion to Use Fast Attack Against Challenger in Title Scrap Friday

JACK HOPES TO DAZZLE LUIS WITH RING SPEED Dempsey’s Idea is to Prevent Firpo Getting Set for Right Swing—All Confidence at Saratoga, By HENRY FARRELL United Press Staff Correspondent WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, N. Y., Sept. 11.—Reaching the end of his real training for the defense of his heavyweight title against Luis Angel Firpo in New York Friday night, Jack Dempsey looks to be in condition good enough to retain the world’s championship.

Experienced experts like Jack McAuliffe, the retired lightweight champion, might detect In, Dempsey's looks and actions symptoms of unfavorable condition, but to less skillful eyes the champion seems to be ready in every respect. Wind Appears Good He-does look slender in the legs, but he has worked to develop maximum speed and his boxing is almost perfect. He still misses many of his punches, but he always does in his training and It is apparent he misses many times because he Is trying to spare his sparring partners. His wind Is good. Some of the experts have detected a lack of the old Dempsey kick in his punching, but the champion said today he did not let himself "go" once in his training. "I have to do my fighting In the ring and there Is no need to f.ght my sparring partners. It takes too much out of me," Demps?y said. His Plan of Attack Others have wondered why Dempsey has devoted so much time to the development of speed when fast work won’t be to so much advantage with an opponent like Firpo. Dempsey said today that he plans to dazzle the big South American with a speedy attack and keep him going so fast he will not be able to wind up and shoot over one of his right hand swings. Dempsey in training is open to lefthand punches and many right handers, but he does not show the same weakness when he is actually fighting. The champion is one of the few class leaders who does not care if he looks bad before a training camp crowd if he gets a good workout. The champion seems to be absolutely without worry or concern. He is confident he will succeed in retaining his title, but he is not underestimating the ability of his opponent and he insists he is going to have a hard fight.

Last Shave

Bu United Press SARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Y. Sept. 11. —Jack Dempsey said today he still had a little cold and he was debating whether to take a chance of getting a hair cut, which he needs badly. He shaved this morning, but the razor will not touch face again until after the fight with Firpo Friday night. Dempsey always fights with a heavy beard. The champion wound up his hard training Monday with six rounds against George West, Jack Burke, Frank Laureate and Alexffcrambitas. He will leave ThurkuZy morning for New York.

How Jack and Luis Stack Up 1 ERE is anew departure method in the manner of comparing prize fighters. The gentleman In white is none other than Champion Jack Dempsey, against whom is silhouetted the blackened figure of Luis U__J Firpo. These outlines are actual photographs, taken by Bob Dorman. NBA Service photographer, who made them to scale and enlarged each the same amount. When making the first picture, which was of Dempsey, Dorman marked the spot on his camera where it. had been focused, and then hustled away to Atlantic City, where, setting nis camera at the same mark again, he backed away from Pirpo until the focus was sharp. The combined results gave two photos—one of Dempsey and another of Firpo—which had exactly the same perspective and measurement in every detail. These were then cut out, superimposed and painted over, producing the graphic comparative sizeups seen above.

"What a difference just a few cents make!”

TUESDAY, SEPT. 11,1923

The big boy down here look* good. Firpo is awkward and not too fast, but from what I saw at Saratoga, while watching Dempsey do his stuff, I should say this South American Is a certain winner. The sympathies of the American public must be with Dempsey. Naturally we hate to see a foreigner beat one of our own. So let’s all back him —as he goes out. For I repeat, he’s on his way. Os course, anything may happen in the fight game these days. It is commercialized beyond belief of those who boxed a bit back in what they call the last generation. But it looks like a short fight. When ore of these boys connect something is going down. From what I have seen of Firpo I think he can take it. It should be as good a fight as is possible under modern conditions where the purse is the whole thing.
